Video

Great info as always, thanks

Perfect work!!

Another excellent video Emily, good information and tips.

Nicely done. I would suggest using a mastic like Ardex D14 for a virtually unlimited pot life and ease of use. It's perfect for backsplashes with a tile size of 8"x 8" or less.

Love how it came out ❤ Great tips and information. Thank you for them

You should resurfaced the entire step after that to look good

That is some top notch vinyl flooring if you’re able to just tap it in and have it securely seated without shimmying it in at an angle, like you would have to with most other varieties of vinyl. I guess that’s the “luxury” of this particular vinyl in this video is connecting it at a flat 180°.

Mortar mix for stairs?????

I'm going to attempt to fix my front steps. I've never done concrete. Wish me luck! ☘️

This video is super helpful - thank you! We’re trying for something similar but with a single 36” wide base cabinet and I’m concerned about tipping. Have you noticed any tendency with your design to tip forward or backward? Did you choose a specific amount of overhang on the back to counteract the weight of the open drawers, doors, and unsupported space for the toe kick?

thank you soooo much

Fantastic video. I'm going to get me a trowel and do my steps😂

When you mortared this, how much time did you alot with each bucket full? Or was it done in one bucket? I always end up with my Mortar hardening too soon. Any suggestions. I'm a remodler and want to add tile to my list of capabilities. Chicks Rule 🤜🤛

I went with the pinchy as well. The clamps function the same was a rivet does where the metal is mechanically altered and the bent metal is all the strength the seal has. With these pinch clamps, pressure would have to fight multiple spots in the metal to come loose. Anyone who has had to remove one of these knows they get on there pretty good. Pex B and the pinch clamps have allowed me to remove the galvanized pipe in my basement and replace it with Pex. Right now I just have pex installed all the way to the supply pipe. When it is time to remove drywall and replace valves, I can finish it off. Once everything is in place, and I buy the Pex expander tool, I will go back through with all Pex A to avoid using some 90 degree fittings. I used to be a copper guy, but if pex is done right, any failures can be contained under your house to prevent damage. Any repairs or replacements wouldn't require hiring a plumber. The big deal is UV rays from the sun. If your plumbing is in a place with no sun, makes no sense to avoid using Pex.

Do not follow these instructions for the 4 prong lol u have to remove that copper jumper from neutral screw to ground screw first !!!!!!!! That jumper is in there for a 3 prong connection

Can you paint it?

My bullets are not going into the barrel more than halfway....something it wrong! Only used this Triggershop one time....

Thanks for your help

Thank you. You did a great job. Straight to the point and direct.😊

Yeah you have to get the over a hundred dollar trowel as a beginner. If youre experienced you can find a $80-90 trowel.

Put little grease on the board so it dont stick.😂

Yes thats what im doing now in Riverton Wy.2024 july.

Good job

Very well produced video and thank you for the research you've done (saves me time not having to do it myself :)) I've never used PEX before and you're video will help me get started!

So how do you load the brad nails?

Just found your channel! It’s fantastic. Thanks for all the great advice. We’re just getting started on a really big reno and I’m so grateful to have found you😃

Nice job,

Riff ram bazoo!

Glad I found your channel, but just out of curiosity, where did you learn your skills? I wish more women were in construction, but YT videos are kind of all most of us have. Is there a book or course you would recommend to women, to truly learn the basics of self repair?

Another excellent video Emily. Lots of great tips and tricks.

How many hours did this take you overall?

No.

What a load of shite

I'm about to do a reno. but totally new to diy. If I'm doing a walk-in shower handicapped access basically with now division between the toilet and shower area, do I need to put backer board on the floor too and all the walls near the shower area OR just shower area? Or is the shower board and roll on membrane going over the subfloor?

Would not new concrete eventually separate, crumble off from the old one?? Usually, a new pour is advised ?!

Fantastic just what I was looking for I have two steps that need doing but didn't know where to start 😁😁😁🙏🙏🙏🙏

What if you lost the tools?

Its a cement stick to the wall nothing special.rendering plastering using cement.WHATS THE DIFFERENCE??

Great way to explain a return. I found your channel a few days ago. You have some really good content. I smashed the subscribe button.

Just bought a condo and probably 75% of the outlets have reverse polarity. Will be spending a weekend fixing everything. I knew how to do it but thanks for the video. Easy to follow

Hi, I'm hoping you can help! I have an 8ft tall x 12ft wide wall, already drywalled, textured with orange peel style, and probably has at least 2 or 3 coats of latex (its an older house). It's our living room TV wall and I want to make it look like concrete / cement, like three large 4 x 8 formed panels. I've looked at everything from faux finish painting techniques, to plaster with some extra sand content, but arrived here on your video because I really want it to be at least 3/8" to 1/2" thick to create the deeper vertical seams every 4ft apart as well realistic voids and divots you typically see with various formed concrete slab walls. For this effect I've seen one plasterer use clear plastic sheeting as a face mold..like 1/8" thick (and I think with a light oil spray on the back) which they pressed onto the wall once the plaster was troweled on to create that "faux form effect" if you will to create the voids and pockets. So my main questions are with an old vertical latex painted wall, do I need a specialty primer first, what primer if so, and should I use some sort of lathe grid or mesh backing over the primer? Because I want it to go on fairly thick, I just don't want it to crack or peel off the wall. Lastly, it looks like this turned out really light / white. I want mine dark, like a wet look so I'm thinking add a little colorant, then sealant later on.

Very cool. I’m going to be applying this same product on our kitchen countertops starting tomorrow. Appreciate the full length video for the tips. Might have to look into that trowel!

Nice, I will have to remember that trick

youre adorable, prettier than julia roberts lol

Nice job. My dad taught me to build the finished end first and then cut to length. Especially if you need to rasp the cut end next to the wall for a better fit.

Well done!

Always a good day when Emily drops a new video. Excellent information.

Best diy video! Ill try it myself, thanks!!!

This is exactly what I've been looking for! I want to do a fabric membrane and Hydroban and everything says it's against warranty, but like you said, screw warranties, they never pan out, I just want what's best!
